Triclosan 0.5% by scrubbing followed by ethanol 70% hand rubbing is suitable without the additional characteristic of sustained effect. This limited effectiveness implies that triclosan should be avoided in SHP given the restrictions on its use in consumer antiseptic products. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04538365).engEffect on the reduction of bacterial load after surgical hand antisepsis with triclosan 0.5% compared to triclosan 0.5% followed by 70% alcoholic solutionjournal article1559-6834https://doi.org/10.1017/ice.2021.50634933701https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/infection-control-and-hospital-epidemiology/article/effect-on-the-reduction-of-bacterial-load-after-surgical-hand-antisepsis-with-triclosan-05-compared-to-triclosan-05-followed-by-70-alcoholic-solution/492A7CB69360836819112ACF7DBBC794embargoed access579 Microbiología613 Higiene.
